Loosid Sober Tip of the Day November 6

When we look for the good in others, we discover the best in ourselves.

This quote, by Martin Walsh, is one of the most important aspects of living a life of emotional sobriety.

It is very easy to see the fault in others. Finding the good in others requires us to completely remove ourselves from the equation and look at the other person from an objective viewpoint.

When we are born, we operate with no faults, bad intentions, or hidden motivations.

There is no greed or jealousy. We have not been told how we should act nor how others should not act.

Everything we think we know has been taught to us by experience from either what we have heard or seen.

Just for today, remove yourself from the equation and look at the person or persons you currently resent.

Find the good in them. Try to understand why they may act the way they act and do what they do. So much of what we do is done from fear, insecurity and lack of self-esteem.

Remember, everyone started in the same place. Concentrate on the good in those people today.

I believe we were born with greed. Babies are the most greedy organisms on earth, they have to be or they won't survive. Animals too, fighting over territory when there was vast expanses and plenty for all. Humility, however, is a learned trait. We can't think our way into better living; we must live our way into better thinking.I try my best to start everyone out at 100% and allow them the opportunity to decide how they will be treated. I do my best to " practice these principles in all my affairs"

Great I will try this.!!

God helps me to love others despite who they are and how they act. I work at looking for similarities rather than fixate on differences. I must remember that the other person may be sick, too, just like this alcoholic.
